For me, I always wanted to try a nice set of wrenches. My problem was
that when I was a little kid, about 15yo, my dad bought me a cheap set of
wrenches for Christmas one year (he knew me well!) He wanted to see how I
would take care of them and use them before getting me a great set.
The problem was, this cheap set of wrenches must have been defective,
because, it's been over 32 years and they still work great! I can't kill
the damn things. They are STILL my primary wrench. I can't believe it.
even the cheap plastic divider in the metal case is still intact. I guess
this was the one set that got out of Japan that was meant to last.

Re: [Shop-talk] Craftsman deal....
If you're happy with them, that's all that matters. Those that don't like
Craftsman don't have to buy them. I've had Craftsman tools for almost 30
years, and have had virtually zero issues with them. My 1/2 inch ratchet
failed a couple of years ago, but the warranty replacement handle works
fine. My only complaint is that the ratchets take too much swing to catch
the next tooth in compact places. But for the cost, I don't think you can
go wrong with the set you bought. You can always buy ratchets you like
better later on. The warranty and availability of replacements is
worthwhile, IMHO.

Okay... So I know Craftsman isn't the best brand out out there, nor
necessarily well liked on this list, but it works well for my purposes.
I just bought this set tonight, and it seems like a good deal, so I
thought
I would pass it along...

Sears #00934302000, model #34302; it's a 302 pc set for $199, minus 10%.
Works out to about $.60/socket.
